This panic attack brought to you by The Mall in Columbia

Scene: Townhouse in Columbia where two newbies to the area live

Peggy "We need to get a nice picture of the kids."

Mike "Hey, lets go to the Mall on Sunday and take a picture of them on the carousel."

Peggy "Perfect!"

Scene changes to the parking lot at the Mall, Sunday afternoon

Peggy "Good golly, people are parking everywhere!"

Mike drives

Peggy "I think the carousel is near Sears...watch out for that kid!"

Pan to kid jumping over a statue and almost clamoring into the parking lot where Mike is driving.

Mike "Maybe we should come back on a week-night."

Peggy "Sounds good...look out for that car!"

Pan to a car, driving on the wrong side of the parking lot street and almost side-swiping our van.

Mike "I really need to pay attention to get out of here...where did we come in?"

Peggy "I don't know...let me look at the directions."


Needless to say, we came home to a nice dinner on the deck.
